With Grindhouse out, I figure more than a few of us are looking deep into the genres that RR and QT are paying homage to, and after just adding a few that they mention by name, I have gotten an endless list of more to check out. What I hope for here is to save people some time and give you a few good ones to check out, some to avoid, and for my own personal gain to check out movies I may not have thought of otherwise. For the purposes of this thread, exploitation can really be anything from splatter to revenge to women in prison to shock etc...anything on the fringe of entertainment with usually less artistic value than internet porno that we probably wouldn't hear about otherwise.
I'll start us off with:
Thriller: A cruel picture - QT name drops this as "the most brutal revenge flick ever shot" and is obviously an influence for Kill Bill. The truth is that while it is a fucked up story, the movie itself really isn't as shocking/disturbing as some other things I have seen (Ilsa, I'm looking your way, thanks Devin), but it actually isn't bad at all if you can handle minimal dialogue and action. Oh and the unrated one features hardcore porno.
Erotic Nights of the Living Dead - Joe D'amato directs this one..how could zombies and hardcore porno go wrong? Well it does, don't waste your time. Probably not aided by the fact that I watched it in italian, but I doubt the dialogue was that meaningful anyway.
Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS - I know this is on essential Chud, but I had to include it anyway for being one of the few movies to disturb me on any level in a long time. For being this disturbing, the movie is actually pretty watchable too. Highest recommendation. I'm actually going to check out the sequels to this one.
I Spit on Your Grave - the no brainer and probably an obvious one, but I had to mention it as it is probably the first one you should watch if you are looking deeper in the "revenge" genre. The rape is brutal, the end is satisfying. Earns it's template reputation and I recommend you check it out if you haven't already.
